5 . Zach ( 11 - 5 - 1 )	v.	1 . Ethan ( 15 - 2 - 0 ) [ + 0.5 ]

Zach cruised to a relatively easy 7-2 win over Stevie in the first round, and now he gets the 1-seed Ethan as a prize. Zach's team has been firing off lately, and while he has some players who will set out one end of a back-to-back, he is relatively healthy. Ethan was rewarded from a good re-alignment draft to get the 1 seed, but unluckily is now dealing with injuries to Brunson and Aaron Gordon. He's gotta hope he's built up enough depth, especially at the guards to match the flurry of guards Zach will throw out there. Ethan's now made the playoffs in every season of EDB history but has yet to walk away with a championship. Will this be the year? Ethan and Zach met once earlier this season with Ethan squeezing out the 5-4 win. Ethan has only lost to Zach once with an all-time 6-1 record advantage.

3 . Zhang ( 13 - 3 - 1 )	v.	2 . Cade ( 14 - 3 - 0 ) [ -1.5 ]

Zhang got a month straight of a Pat matchup and dominated him for that whole month, winning his first round matchup 6-3. Now he's got a tough test in 2-seed Cade, and the stars don't seem to be quite aligning this year. Unfortunately for Zhang, Amen Thompson wanted to chase meaningless triple-doubles and now looks like he may be out for the matchup. Zhang will also be missing Kyrie Irving (Mavs in shambles), Rui Hachimura, and Ben Simmons and hope John Collins and FVV will actually play. 2 seed Cade had a pretty solid season, but heads into the playoffs on a 2-game losing streak. He hopes his team can right the ship in the Semis. Recently down Jalen Suggs, he's gotta hope Tingus Pingus and Jaren Jackson can return. Zhang and Cade split the season series, but Cade has the 4-3 advantage all-time.
